Sadness and Sorrow (from Naruto) (arr. Michael Brown)

As fans of Japanese “anime” will know, this popular ballad from the television series “Naruto” is filled with emotional depth and poignant beauty. Thanks in part to Taylor Davis’ solo violin cover, this tune is now reaching a much wider audience. Featuring a flute solo on the melody in the beginning then later scored for the full band, here is a sensitive adaptation for younger players.
